IMPOUND IT.

They hedged their bets, holding on to Joanna's rent-controlled apartment in San Francisco just in case they wanted to return.

I have LOTS of sympathy for these people.

Also: the couple has struggled to make friends, McIsaac-Kierklo has not yet mastered the language (or learned much of it)…

Is there any possibility that these two things are related?

Jackasses. I think it’s safe to say that San Francisco doesn’t want them back.

This is funny as hell but I’m also wincing.

Well, when inexperienced, horny boys are your kink, that’s what you get.

My first reaction to Concord’s record-breaking failure was sympathy for all the staff who had worked on and polished the game for years. All that dedication, passion, and effort, wasted.

Then, I found out the game had been live service, and my reaction could be simplified to one word: GOOD.

Yeah, the truth about Trump is pretty ugly when you don’t bury it beneath talking points, or obscure it with incoherent rants. “Biodegradable cattle byproduct” sounds okay, but it’s still bullshit.

There’s no way any sane, informed person would trust him with their money.

That means there’s a huge untapped market out there.

I know “everybody does it” isn’t a valid excuse, but… everybody does it.

“This seems solvable if the company is willing to prioritize it.”

I know how to make the company prioritize it: make Whisper illegal to use (or even promote) until a certain threshold of accuracy is met. This software is absolute garbage at best, and a genuine hazard at worst.

Lame, ineffective “warnings” serve no purpose but to cover OpenAIs ass. Hit them in the wallet, and they’ll pay attention.

I remember seeing this commercial. I knew back then that it was horseshit.

"This is what happens when the government lets companies swallow the completion (the latest being Sprint). We have antitrust laws in the country that are being ignored and ultimately the consumer loses," a New York resident told the FCC.

YES. The government needs to stop rubber-stamping these enormous mergers.

As bad as this is, just be glad that the last word of the greentext isn’t “vape”

Not paying bills is an ego trip for these scumbags. Maybe it’s the only way they can get an erection.

Yeah. That would have been the real pro move.
